I arrived at Spurn late afternoon after a long drive from Sussex. Expectations were high, NE winds were blowing in off the North Sea was Spurn going to score big this week? Upon arrival, I headed up to the viewing platform behind the obs to meet Mum and Dad where we watched Redwings, Fieldfares and Blackbirds piling in off, a spectacular sight! Also noted off the platform was a flock of c50 Brent Geese which included one Pale-bellied Brent Goose. A noisy flock of c300 Pink-footed Geese headed south too.

With only a couple of hours daylight to play with a quick look in The Triangle area produced a Spotted Redshank and a Grey Wagtail on The Humber. Next stop was Chalkies Point where we obtained nice views of my first two Yellow-browed Warblers of the trip before crossing over the road to West Mere Farm where we saw Little Owl and two Bramblings. We finished the day watching a herd of 10 Whooper Swans at Sammy's Point.
